Yes, UFS PHY doesn't use one. But similar to pipe_clk there are rx/tx symbol_clk
output from PHY that is used by UFS controller. I will update code comments
to not refer UFS for pipe_clk.

I got the confirmation that pipe_clk is needed for PCIE as well for its
initialization to happen successfully. So we do need clock driver change
to fix this in PHY driver.
